The Brentano Estate and Goethe The estate bought by Franz Brentano towards the end of the eighteenth century lies in the Rhinegau, the wine-growing region of Germany, on the opposite bank of the Rhine from Bonn and some fifty miles further towards Frankfurt. The neighboring village of Oestrich boasts a famous ancient crane, the remains of a twelfth-century ruin (now adapted as a business school), and many sixteenth-century houses. Winkel itself houses what is claimed to be the oldest stone house in Germany. The Brentano estate, extended by Franz in 1820,1 once stretched down to the Rhine. Streets close to the estate, with names such as Achim von Arnim Strasse and Clemens Brentano Strasse, testify to the international fame of members of this illustrious family themselves; the neighboring town of Oestrich boasts a Clemens Brentano Schule. Like its neighbors, since recent times the Brentano estate lies cut off from the river by an autobahn. With its full-length wall on the pavement side lined with fig trees, a footpath to the right, and set among the vineyards, the estate itself retains its seclusion, its sense of being a family home: a source of the peace which Antonie Brentano (nicknamed Toni) so cherished here. The area is famous for its dry white wine. That of the Brentano estate is named Goethewein in honor of its most famous imbiber. The Brentanos' literature states, Following the confusion of the occupation and the War of Liberation resulting from the French Revolution, Goethe sought refuge in this vicinity of his birthplace and, as a health-resort visitor, frequently honored the Brentanos' invitations. His cheerful popular work 'Sankt-Rochus Fest zu Bingen' and the journal 'Im Rheingau Herbsttagge' are owed to his restful stay in 1814 with 'the beloved and esteemed Brentano family with whom I spent many happy hours at their Winkel estate on the banks of the Rhine.' Their literature goes on to mention the personal and artistic revival of Goethe, then in his mid-sixties, during his Rhine travels of 1814 and 1815: was able to drink a copious quantity of our good Rhine wines, especially the [18]11, Antonie is quoted as saying. My husband often delighted him with the gift of a cask of wine.2 Antonie reported that Goethe was prone to wander down to the Rhine in his white flannelette nightshirt in the morning. He did not like to be disturbed. He refused to answer questions. While at Winkel, Goethe passed his days in song and arpeggios to the guitar (presumably played by Antonie).3 Goethe, and Franz's half-sister Bettina, shared Antonie's fondness for the peace of Winkel. Beethoven and the Brentanos Despite frequent talk of a visit to England or, in the early 1820s, of a return to Bonn, Beethoven never visited his friends the Brentanos in the Rhineland. Nor, according to Maynard Solomon,4 did the family from Frankfurt ever visit him in Vienna, despite the fact that they retained Antonie Brentano's family home there.5 No members of Toni's branch of the family remained in Frankfurt after the late nineteenth century; but the eldest descendants have recently returned to live in what used to be the summer residence, the only surviving Brentano house from Beethoven's day in or near Frankfurt.6 For those seeking verification of my thesis that Beethoven was the father of Antonie Brentano's youngest child, Karl Josef, born on March 8, 1813,7 this essay will prove a disappointment. However, felicities of a less dramatic nature will, I hope, emerge. Because the evidence is visual not textual, any claims made here are likely to be dismissed as peripheral. However, I should like to think that such evidence as herein presented will be seen not in isolation but in the context of my own previous work and also of Maynard Solomon's discovery of Antonie Brentano as Beethoven's Immortal Beloved.8 Antonie was far happier in Winkel than in Frankfurt, to where she was taken by Franz after their wedding. …" @default.
